Enum ContentType

java.lang.Object
java.lang.Enum<ContentType>
groovyx.net.http.ContentType
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Comparable<ContentType>
public enum ContentType extends Enum<ContentType>
Enumeration of common IANA content-types. This may be used to specify a request or response content-type more easily than specifying the full string each time. i.e. 
http.request( GET, JSON ) {...}
Is roughly equivalent to: 
http.request( GET, 'application/json' )
The only difference being, equivalent content-types (i.e. application/xml and text/xml are all added to the request's Accept header. By default, all equivalent content-types are handled the same by the EncoderRegistry and ParserRegistry as well.
